It may be a little ironic that the reviewer is current Beaufort County School District Chairman, Fred Washington. Conroy and the School Board definitely had different ideas on how best to run a school and teach children!

Doors open at 11:30 AM! Free, although donations (and new Friends) are always appreciated.

Once a "One County, One Book" selection, the Library offers access to at least 60 copies of Water is Wide for you.

The BDC has a small collection of newspaper and magazine articles about the book in the "Conroy, Pat (1945-- )--The Water is wide" vertical file as well as files on the "Water Is Wide (made-for-tv film, 2005)" and "Conrack (film)." What is most unique, though, is a script adapting the Water is Wide into a musical. Come to the BDC to see these and other local history treasures. Customary hours are 10 am until 5 pm, Mondays through Fridays.
